Capitol Commons

Located in Pasig City, the newly opened Capitol Commons is a mixed-used development center featuring various office and condominium buildings, shopping and entertainment complexes, and a park.

At the center of Capitol Commons is the Capitol Commons Park. Imagined to be a perfect blend of the urban lifestyle and nature, the park is lined with lush greenery and plenty of park benches. There’s even a paved walkway for visitors to go jogging. It’s a great place to simply hang out and have a picnic with the family.

If you’d rather dine in a restaurant, you’re in luck, as Capitol Commons features a number of standalone ones in the area. There’s the Filipino Sentro 1771 and the Mediterranean Black Olive Cerveseria. There’s also the Tipsy Pig Gastropub, if you’re looking for a more relaxing night out. And, of course, the ever reliable Starbucks.

Estancia Mall, which only opened last 2014, has a variety of international shopping selections, ranging from department stores like Debenhams to furniture and lifestyle stores like Pottery Barn and West Elm.

If you’re getting hungry from all that shopping, don’t fret, as Estancia Mall also has a wide range of restaurants and cafes to choose from.

There’s the American Buffalo Wild Wings, the Japanese Coco Ichibanya Curry House, the local offerings of XO 46 Bistro Filipino, the Korean build-your-own-bibimbap place I Am Kim, and the Vietnamese Ba Noi.

For dessert, there’s the French-Japanese JiPan Cafe and Bakery or the freshly baked goodies of Larcy’s Cupcakery. There’s also a branch of Craft Coffee Revolution here, for all you caffeine dependents out there.

Watch out for the soon to be opened Paragon, which will feature six state-of-the-art movie theatres, as well as even more shopping and dining choices.

Capitol Commons may be new to the scene, but it sure is growing into one of the top destinations in the Metro.
